Still happening, I just wrote a ticket about this well known issue. I hope they do something about this soon. i am so damn annoyed to play on my hunter 
Yep. Been unable to play my hunter for most of BFA because the whole game freezes for a millisecond when hunter pets gain/lose auras.
The hunter I had previously been playing since the launch of WoW in 2005. It’s great. Love it.
Any fix for this?
So, i’ve been having these constant fps stutters, ever since the ‘Tide of vengeance’ Patch, with the release of BoD. At this point, i have kinda learned to live with it, but it’s still extremely annoying. It took me 4-6 months of making tickets, before i got a reply where they actually said " Yes, this is a known issue, and we are working on a fix for it " 6 … Months … will this be fixed before shadowlands? i have my doubts.

I noticed some general microstutters in the game as well, when just playing on my Paladin. Even made a separate topic about it.
But I just wanted to chime in, since I decided to level up my Hunter again yesterday (yay, exp boost ftw!) and I indeed noticed this stuttering as well. For me it’s most noticeable when dismounting a flying mount, which causes your pet to appear next to you. That’s when the stutter appears. It’s extremely subtle, but very much there.
To the devs and Blizz support team, please stop telling us it’s just “our computers” causing the problems. That’s simply not always the case. Please try it for yourself on your Hunter.
The stutter when your pet appears has always been a thing. That’s probably due to it spawning in the pet action bar and so on. It’s the same on Warlocks. Yes it would be nice if this crap was fixed too.
The issue in BFA is that for some people every time your pet is in combat and you gain/lose buffs the game stutters. It’s not caused by addons (I’ve tested it) it’s some internal game system. It also wasn’t the case earlier in the expansion. So the problem was introduced in a patch.
For my hunter, removing the Azerite neck almost removes the issue completely so it’s a code problem.
I just tried on my Demo Warlock and I’m noticing NO stutter whatsoever when I summon my pet or dismount (which causes the pet to appear). Only on my Hunter. Removing the neck (on Hunter) made no difference, still a stutter.
even tried to boost another hunter problem has to be azrite/corruption related dint have any problems till ive gotten some gear/corruption
bump
any fixes?
this problem still exists!
I’ve boosted BM hunter 2 days ago, 0 stuttering, even with 2 pets from animal companion talent. Maybe it’s related to hardware?
It’s a code issue specifically related to player auras and combat events while a pet is active.
If I send in my pet to attack a mob and press nothing there is no performance issue. As soon as I attack and gain/lose an aura there is a hitch in the fps. These hitches continue until you end combat. At the end of combat there is also a huge hitch. (addons have zero affect on this behaviour)
You can see this hitch by simply strafing left and right while fighting. It’s like something is halting the renderer to update something; and that something takes 0.1s.
Another anomaly is that upon dismissing my pet for about 20 seconds afterwards there are regular frame skips. It’s crazy and makes no sense. This started mid BFA and renders my Hunter, from the 2005 vanilla launch, unplayable with a pet.
All my other toons work fine and the games performance is generally smooth outside of this weird bug.
